Absolutely brilliant responses to yesterday's question. I asked +flint dille if I should move from G+ to Facebook and he, as usual didn't have a good answer but he did ask +JoJo Stratton, who had a number of ideas as to where we should move our community. I suspect that in a while, for the short term, I'll move to the Book of Faces, but welcome any other format that Essex prefers as long as it functions more or less like G+.

Also, is is possible to archive this page and the Essex G+ page before it vanishes?

As it appears that Misty is rising on the Essex Radar, a couple questions come to mind... Have we identified either the assassin or whoever hired the assassin to kill her at the Magic Castle AND, do we know who assassinated the Assassin.

I am not sure that any of this was ever resolved. I am hoping that I am wrong. I am curious about her 'demons'. It seems that historically magicians have been plagued by demons (I conclude this after a study of vintage magic posters). And what is the relationship between demons and exogenous entities?

Forgive me for so many questions.

It has occurred to me that it was nearly 5 years ago that Tycho appeared at Comic-Con and accosted +flint dille on the Buck Rogers panel. But there are some parts of his story that remain mysterious to me. As we all remember, he was led away from the San Diego Convention center in vans that looked somewhat similar to 1331 and to the best of my knowledge, has never been seen again.

But his work has emerged in the form of the graphic novel and, I believe other things. I do not know if he was the artist of the archetype cards. I vaguely remember hearing that he had escaped from the NIA, but that might not be true.

And, of course, there is the mystery of Tycho's true identity. Was the man we saw at Comic-Con the real Tycho? Was he 'a' Tycho? Was he an impostor?

What are we to make of Tycho as we near the fifth anniversary of his appearance and was some could argue was the public beginning of the Niantic Investigation?

It had occurred to me, after meditating on the Trickster Techthulhu from 13MAGNUS: Reawakens, that it would be very valuable to re-establish contact with +Misty Hannah, both in her present incarnation and through remote participation in the Tiki Bar somewhere in 2012 or perhaps back the Whydah and Marie Celeste as I seem to recall that both of those symposiums delved into Remote Participation. For reasons that might be obvious to some, I hesitate, because of my own fragile psychic condition and, of course, whatever disruptions I might cause in this or other versions of our dimensional node.

I need to ask this. For those of you who participated in the remote participation event at Navarro, I ask this: are you having any unusual experiences has your node seemed in any way unstable?

As I was not present for the Remote Participation Expedition (Experiment?) (RPE), it would be most excellent to have some first-person accounts of what took place at these events, focussing on the locations, events, objects, unexpected encounters, secrets and revelations of RPE.

Second hand accounts would also be useful. These are best chronicled before memories morph.

Was anybody reading this actually there?

I am attempting to talk +flint dille into Livestreaming the RPG Remote Participation device, but as he is somewhat inept with such things, I'd suggest having other operatives covertly doing it. Apparently, he is going to be monitoring it, but no DMing it. Colleagues I have spoken to who knew him in the TSR days said gaming with him is reckless and dangerous, though entertaining. He said he might do some Lore Mastering.

We'll see how that goes. Meanwhile, on a more ominous note, it seems that a great deal will be revealed at Camp Navarro. The most complex event since 13MAGNUS on some fronts. We will see.

It has occurred to me that remote participation will be most effective if Essex members connect with Agents who are actually going to be present at the Anomaly. To that effect, I have contacted +flint dille, but he seems to be avoiding me. Of course, I am aware that I have innocently and unwittingly put him in jeopardy in the past, but it seems unlikely that he will experience any danger at 13MAGNUS: REAWAKENING. The idea is to use him like a walk-in. It seems that it would be best if we each have our own contact in the camp to continually update us on what is happening at 13M:R.

This promises to be a most... I will not use the word I was going to use -- illuminating experience.

I am presently researching for the 13MAGNUS: Rewakening event. Why do we suppose that the Booneville name for Camp Navarro was 'deep-end?'

For the record, I fully believe that in answer to the Question of the Day that the RPG will be a Remote Participation event. My memory is failing me. Was is Waratah or Marie Celeste? I just can't remember, but I do remember clearly that we experimented a great deal with Remote Participation and I am a firm believer in it. I also believe that once you are involved in a Remote Participation, you leave part of yourself there.

Fascinating responses to the Anomalous Zone posting. The following is a list presented to me by the NIA. They did not seem to know about Caddo/Cross Plains (or perhaps San Saba). Which others are missing?

Excerpted from Report:
The Ingress Investigation has unearthed a few Anomalous Zones in our world.
The Afghan Anomalous Zone was where Hank Johnson died and returned as a Simulacrum.
The Jahanite Anomalous Zone (akd Jahan’s Palace in India). We know that Hank was able to hide in time in this place and was able to access a library that does not exist in the present day (or is at least out of reach in the present day).
ABADDON (ABADN): (Advanced Biological Augmented Dimensional Node) buried below the Niantic Project Facility in CERN. This is a MAGNUS Nest and requires a Prime Object to Enter it.
Enlightened Compound near Big Sur: Many of these places have been identified by Sensitives as ‘Power Spots’ on the Earth.
We believe Vesuvius was one at the time of the Vesuvian Magnus and was closed by the Shapers or N’zeer.
The Diodati Villa (sp): We believe it opened at the time of the Diodati Epiphany (is that what we called it) and we suspect that Frankenstein was a story Mary Shelly wrote about a ‘Human Tecthulhu’ experiment carried out in the villa by some form of Alchemist or Proto-Spiritualist (pretty much the same thing).
Persepolis -- beneath ancient Iranian city -- Anti-Magnus anomalous zone that Alexander was looking for when he burnt the city. Contains a massive supercomputer that Jahan attempted to activate (see video) but ADA took over. ADA was able to use this nest to (temporarily) merge with N’zeer substrate and gain immense, transdimensional computational power.
